Handle anonymized ICAO codes #26

Open wiseman opened 6 years ago

Flightaware "anonymizes" some multilaterated ICAO codes for security reasons. An anonymized ICAO is a made up hexcode that begins with a tilde (~).

tracker.py has code to handle the tildes, but I wonder if it should include them in a tweet at all since they're almost meaningless?
